Trend Report: A Bohemian Girls Survival Kit.

One of the trends Spring 2012 will more than likely have to offer is a more bohemian type feel. You're starting to see peeks of it here and there this Spring but its not a full blown trend yet. So what the heck do you do when you want to attempt a bohemian look  but not look like some troll from under a bridge? 

In your bohemian suvival kit you will need to following:

• Bangles-  and lots of them dang it! You're no wuss. 
• A maxi length dress or skirt- MUST BE of a flowing light material. If you really want to be bad ass get one in an ethnic inspired print. 
• A nice woven or leather bag - Bohemian chicks don't do synthetics. Though smaller bags are in style you can totally get away with a big bag because as a woman I know that you just have stuff to carry. 
• A nice sandal- Gladiator flats are fine but if you really want to stay on tend find yourself a wedge or a platform sandal. 
• A light jacket- Whether it is a nice denim or boyfriends long sleeved shirt you can take and roll the sleeves up, cardigan,etc. Its all about layering when you're going boho so having the ability to change your look up on a whim is kind of important.
• Other accessories: Necklaces -play with them go from a simple long one or layer a few together or find a really nice statement necklace. Scarves are good too, Just in case you get cold going to a rally or something. Go to the store or even better a market that sells jewelry and find some nice rings with interesting patterns and stones. Hats aren't for everyone but large brim, floppy hats will be in next Spring so stack up on a few now. Play with Belts as well larger belts seem to be on trend again, just avoid unnecessary shiny belts. Bohemian style is all about keeping it natural.

That pretty much covers the basics, of course personal style is the most important thing for you to do so wear what makes you comfortable, these are just the basics. Best of luck my bohemian loving friend.
